Flóris basket
Flóris Nándor Korb (born April 7, 1860 in Kecskemét , Austrian Empire , † September 16, 1930 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian architect .
Life
Korb graduated from the Berlin Building Academy in 1879 and then worked for fourteen years in the office of the Budapest architect Alajos Hauszmann . Here he was instrumental in the planning of large projects such as the City Court and the Budapest administration building of New York Life . At Hauszmann, he also met Kálmán Giergl , with whom he opened the joint office Giergl & Korb in 1893, from which numerous large buildings have emerged. The most important project of the architects' firm is the new building for the Budapest Music Academy , realized from a winning architectural competition. Other important buildings are in Debrecen , Kecskemét , Klausenburg and Szeged . After 1900 Korb worked partially independently. His buildings show styles of historicism , later also partial or unit forms of the Secession . Korb was a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and was awarded the Greguss Prize in 1924.
